Impressive clinical data of SCIB1, supported by functional T cell responses to the TRP2 and gp100 peptides which can be detected in patients post vaccination, will be presented by Head of Translational Research, Dr Samantha Paston. The posters will show the isolation of specific TCRs that recognise post translationally modified peptides and the application of Anti-Sialyl-di-Lewis-a as a CAR-T.

About Scancell
Scancell is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is leveraging its proprietary research, built up over many years of studying the human adaptive immune system, to generate novel medicines to treat significant unmet needs in cancer. The Company is building a pipeline of innovative products by utilising its four technology platforms: Moditope® and ImmunoBody® for vaccines and GlyMab® and AvidiMab® for antibodies.
Adaptive immune responses include antibodies and T cells (CD4 and CD8), both of which can recognise damaged or infected cells. In order to destroy such cancerous or infected cells, Scancell uses either vaccines to induce immune responses or monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to redirect immune cells or drugs. The Company's unique approach is that its innovative products target modifications of proteins and lipids. For the vaccines (Moditope® and ImmunoBody® ) this includes citrullination and homocitrullination of proteins, whereas its mAb portfolio targets glycans or sugars that are added onto proteins and / or lipids (GlyMab® ) or enhances the potency of antibodies and their ability to directly kill tumour cells (AvidiMab® ).
